Bossa Nova - Vinyl Story

This history of bossa nova is the result of three years of research by Marcus Wagner and his team of musicians, journalists and historians to recreate the atmosphere of the most musically and intellectually rich period of Copacabana Brazil. The story is written against the backdrop of Brazilian music of the 1950s. "Evenings in Copacabana" is the biography of a time when musicians, writers, philosophers, made live a bubbling Brazil, in close connection with Paris. This first volume presents the pre-Bossa-Nova era. The bohemian night of Copacabana, in 1955, was frequented by Vinicius de Moraes, Tom Jobim and João Gilberto, and all the night owls, artists, musicians and intellectuals, on the soundtrack of two vinyl sides of a repertoire of hits and rare pearls, three years before the official birth of the new musical genre. Marcus Wagner succeeds, through the poetic vivacity of this album, in reviving the most important moment of Brazilian music of the 20th century.
